I love the POV shift in this song. As I interpret it, the first chorus uses a non-inclusive "we" in the "We just drag them down," meaning that the singer's group of angry people drag others down, leaving the listener out of it.
Later, it's 'We just drag YOU down," pitting the listener with the happy people.
Finally, the verse complains about the happy people, and uses the inclusive "we," meaning "you and I just drag them down." He then immediately points out that he dragged the listener down to his side.
